DICKINSON — Only 2 runs separated the Dickinson Roughriders and Jamestown’s Eagles in American Legion baseball action on Tuesday, June 11 at Dakota Community Bank & Trust Ballpark, with the hosts ending the series with a walkoff, 6-5, extra-inning win after dropping the opener, 5-4. Third-baseman Jack Price doubled home infielder Camden Kubas — who had reached base on a one-out walk and scored 3 of the Roughriders’ runs with a pair of stolen-bases — to improve the Dickinson ballclub’s record to 3-1 on the young 2024 summer season. Nick Sobolik came on in relief for Jace Kovash and earned the win on three innings of work with 3 strikeouts down the stretch, with Kovash lasting through five innings and fanning 3 of his own while surrendering only 1 earned-run and 3 walks, while helping his cause with a 2-for-4 performance with a run, a triple and 3 RBI.
Price ended up with a multi-hit effort as well, going 2-for-5 with a double and 1 driven-in, while Sobolik was 2-of-4 with a run and 2 steals of his own. Dickinson’s initial breakthrough came in a 4-run second inning during a two-out rally that featured catcher Christian Tibor reaching on an error and Sobolik singling him to third before Tibor stole home. Kubas walked and Kovash rapped a 2-run triple to right to give the hosts a 3-2 advantage and the starting hurler raced across the plate on a wild-pitch, but that closed-out the scoring for the Roughriders at the time.
The Eagles scored 1 in the fifth and Dickinson .
